[ale] LUG in Columbus

[John C]

Well, I am the Systems Admin for Knology.  We are in West Point, which is
really close to Columbus. On the broadband side (not IT), we are total
Linux.

does anyone know if there is any significant business use of Linux in
Columbus
(TSYS, AFLAC, etc.)?

I think it would be really cool to do some proof of concept stuff for TSYS
on
replacing their 390 environment with something like a perl/mySQL/Mosix
architecture.  I know they'd never go for it but I bet it could be done and
would save them a pile (I know we have).

can one actually earn a living as a Linux professional down there?

not knocking Columbus (most of my family lives there; love Mike & Ed's ;-),
just
curious...

Hello All -

A couple of us Linux users down here in Columbus Ga are trying to drum up
some interest in a local LUG, and would value your input and advice. We felt
that an Install-fest may be a way to generate up some interest initially.
Any
advice?

btw - At the last ale-nw meeting, some expressed interest in dvd ripping on
Linux. Ken has the technique posted on his site:

Thanks -

John L
